Low Life

The premise of Low Life is simple, yet hideously complex. See, it takes place gazillions of years in the future. Every calamity that could possibly befall a planet has befallen our lowly Mutha Oith and the place is now a stinking, festering, heap.

The vaunted Hoomanrace is extinct as are most of the critters that once roamed the world. The dominant lifeforms of the day are those that evolved from the ones that survived the Time of the Flush (when all the bad stuff happened). Now, in an era known as After the Wipe, the Oith is populated by the descendants of the intrepid worm, the indestructible cockroach, the everlasting snack cake, and a host of other vile and bizarre entities.

The ancient technologies of the Hoomanrace are all but lost, victim of the aforementioned calamities. New religions gather converts and primordial villains rear their ugly rears. It's a world of savagery and wonder; a world of magic and intrigue; a fascinating and adventurous world where even the lowliest werm can become a king by his own sword.

WHAT WORKS: It is, by far, the most unique setting I have ever read...for better or for worse. A common complaint about the plot point campaigns is that they tend to wreck the setting...this one really doesn't. Atmosphere is jam packed into the book, [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
